Dear Startup,

On Tuesday the 30th of May our Costa Corporate Startup Speeddating will take place in Eindhoven at Philips Headquarters. On behalf of the COSTA Corporates & Startups with Jan Kees de Jager ambassador (CFO KPN) and on behalf of the corporates in COSTA, we would like to welcome you to network within our Corporate and Startup ecosystem for some potential dealmaking during Corporate- Startup Speeddates.

COSTA stands for 'cooperation COrporates & STArtups.' Partners include Erasmus University, ECE, CVN, VNO-NCW and MKB NL. As the Netherlands has a unique strong positioning with Corporates, it seeks to make the Startup ecosystem smarter, stronger, faster and more sustainable. The top of Dutch Business joined forces to foster cooperation and strengthen Startups. Philips, Shell, Akzo Nobel, Port of Rotterdam, Eneco, Port XL, ING, KLM, DSM, NS, Rabobank, Unilever, ANWB, Thales Nederland, ASML, Municipality Eindhoven, Brainport Development and KPN share their 'best and worst practices' at top level and combine their insights to find out how we can create win-win situations to lead the cooperation’s in a sustainable success.

From every Corporate a Primary Contact Person for Startups will be present during the Speeddate Sessions. In this way long term connections can be built. Every Startup is able to subscribe into timeslots with different companies.

There are 4 rounds of speed dates and you can subscribe for multiple timeslots with different corporates. Make sure you sign in for one timeslot per corporate please, and one corporate per timeslot.

Subscribing lasts until May 16th 09.00 o clock. After that a selection by corporates will take place, and we will let you know May 24rd in advance if you are selected to the timeslot.

The program for the day is as follows:

• 14:00 - 14.15 Speeddate round 1
